EV COMPENSATION

Your camera adjusts the exposure of each scene automatically. However, when if the subject is very dark, or very bright, you may override the camera automatic exposure determination to make the subject brighter or darker. This is called EV compensation. The EV compensation of the camera can be adjusted from -1.8EV to +1.8EV. Use the / button to select the EV compensation that you want and then press the OK button.
